STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
tFocus on growing internationally and in civil security. An
expanded market presence is the key to global expansion and
can be implemented in several ways, e.g., through increased
marketing and local presence, as well as through collaborations
and partnerships.
te strategic growth areas are aviation, airport, port and coastal
surveillance, and cyber security. Priority areas include security,
eciency, green ights, surveillance, automated air trac con-
trol, safe harbours, cyber warfare and reliable communications.
te product portfolio is a cornerstone to growth. We integrate
military and civil technology to build a safer society.
PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS
t Operations are concentrated on C4ISR (computerised command,
control, communications and intelligence) systems, WISR solutions and
security solutions, as well as training and simulation.
t Remote air traffic control uses cameras and sensors installed around air-
ports. All the information they record is linked in real time to the air traffic
control centre and projected onto a 360-degree view. This cost-effective
solution allows several airports to be monitored from a single location.
t Airborne surveillance systems, e.g., AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning &
Control).
Saab supplies the armed
forces in North America and
the UK, among others, with
realistic combat training solu-
tions. With Saab’s systems,
soldiers can see where each
individual is and how they
are acting, allowing them to
practice tactics and improve
their personal capabilities.
